  • Aura Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ: AURA) announced the presentation of interim Phase 2 safety and efficacy data of belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar; AU-011) with 9-10 months of follow-up.

  • The trial evaluates two clinical endpoints: tumor control and visual acuity preservation using the suprachoroidal (SC) route of administration for early-stage choroidal melanoma (indeterminate lesions and small choroidal melanoma (IL/CM)).

  • The results showed a statistically significant reduction in the tumor growth rate (-0.289 mm/yr, p = <0.0001) compared to each patient's documented growth rate at study entry and a 100% (8/8) tumor control rate.

  • In addition, the visual acuity preservation rate was 88% (7/8), with most patients at risk for vision loss with tumors close to the fovea or optic disk.

  • The overall tolerability profile of bel-sar was generally favorable, with no dose-limiting toxicities, treatment-related SAEs, or significant AEs reported.

  • There was no posterior inflammation and only mild anterior inflammation (Grade 1) in 20% of the patients. Treatment-related AEs were predominantly mild and resolved without sequalae.

  • Price Action: AURA shares are down 2.42% at $10.88 on the last check Thursday.
